  3. Meanwhile, mix together cornmeal and salt in a medium bowl. Beat in buttermilk and eggs to form a thin batter.

  4. Carefully pull out the center rack and pour batter into hot oil in the skillet.

  5. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes. If desired, turn the oven to broil for the last few minutes of baking to brown the top.

  6. Shake the skillet to release corn pone. Serve warm in the skillet or turn out onto a serving plate.
